By Design

Rites Of Spring

Time heals all wounds they say but the self-inflicted won't

just fade away - And in these shifting tides of blame why

Are you suprised to see your name? It's such a drag,

time got the best of you, things you gave you say were

taken, explanation piled over excuse.

And so the story goes

but by your own design

And if you look to me to find you

Then my eyes will pass right through

Believe me I had wished, we could have avoided this

Please don't ask me to explain all the things that caused

your pain - I only want you to realize, passivity

equals compliance - let it slip right through your

hands become the victim of other's demands.
